Hethel Innovation Ltd. – who manage Hethel Engineering Centre, Scottow Enterprise Park and Broadland Food Innovation Centre – enter a second year of the ‘Hethel Supporter’ sponsorship scheme. The scheme sees them continue their partnership with Ashtons Legal into the 2024-2025 financial year, where they will continue to work closely to deliver added value to businesses based at Hethel Innovation sites.


Across Hethel Engineering Centre , Scottow Enterprise Park and Broadland Food Innovation Centre, there are over 160 tenant businesses, mainly operating in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, and food and drink.


Ashtons Legal, a law firm with offices across East Anglia, will be on hand to provide their commercial law services to businesses based at Hethel, Scottow and Broadland.

David Sloman, an associate lawyer at Ashtons who has led the development of the relationship and presented seminars for Hethel Innovation said this of the initial partnership:

“We’re delighted to be partnering with Hethel, and are looking forward to working closely with them and their members. The business client group at Ashtons acts for some of the region’s key engineering, manufacturing, and commercial technology companies, including several at Hethel already, and we believe that tenants of all sizes at both sites will find that sector knowledge and experience invaluable.”

Having a Hethel Supporter like Ashtons Legal who are keen to engage with the community, is of massive value to Hethel Innovation members. Their support, along with expertise, will help Hethel Innovation bring members important knowledge insights and topical seminars, with key links to wider industry networks.
